Teak & Gelcoat Problems

Teak problems

Cockpit, Flybridge, Sidedeck, Foredeck, Platform. All teak laid (a 26.000 EUR option) but not without issues. The general teak craftmanship is satisfactory but the surfaces suffer from damages and blemishes in various areas due to lack of protection and proper care.

GRP/Gelcoat Problems


Radar arch surface port side poor polish job. A closer look reveals a 10cm hole that has been plugged and repaired poorly. 
Same issue on starboard side. Dealer threw the ball out of their courts stating that these could be mold marks etc. which did not make any sense at all.
We have requested Princess factory to explain why these repair works have been performed.
